Default U.S. Corps warns of kite-tubing dangers

Looks like kite tubes are now banned by the U.S. Corps of Engineers on its lakes in Arkansas and Missouri.

"Victims have reported coughing up blood, torn muscles, whiplash-type injuries, broken ribs, punctured lungs and cervical fractures," according to a safety alert from the park service.
